quattrohead Posted August 28, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Officials at Port Canaveral don’t know when the cruise lines will actually return to sailing, suggesting no cruises from the port until at least January, and then only four ships sailing at 50% capacity - one ship from each company. So who of Disney, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian or MSC are going to be sailing from here ? My Armonia from Tampa in December cruise has supposedly been switched to the Seaside from Port Canaveral but still shows a 3 day instead of a 7 day trip. I just don't trust this situation.

Normally 90days to get finalized or longer. Till that and cruise line acceptance nothing happens. Also need borders to open and airlines to resume. All that needs a BIG drop in COVID cases that is not likely with flu season just a month away. Any date is pure speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oteixeira Posted August 29, 2020 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2020 They are "projecting" the worst case scenario so that IF they start earlier or have more revenue from ships starting back up it looks better on the books. Always aim low and over perform (It's the basic rule of wall street reporting as well it seems). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very realistic, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me like the information contained is mostly about expectations and speculations rather than factual rules and regulations that have been determined for Port Canaveral. It could be more, it could be less. Unfortunately, it seems like all we can do at the present time is speculate as we’ve been doing for months, and that’s what this article is doing. We will know what’s really going to happen when it happens. Edited August 29, 2020 by Tapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, many cruises require International flights. Can you fly to Vancouver BC for a cruise? How about most of Europe? How about even visiting Canada. International flights for tourism are few.

Majority of cruisers out of us ports are us citizens. It has been said by rcl that they expect cruising in the us to start up with passengers that are able to drive to port to limit possible exposure on mass transportation. I believe it is Tui that is chartering flights for their cruise passengers. So far msc grandiosa has had 2 weeks of successful cruises with no reports of covid on board. Costa and aida start up in september. It gives me a feeling of hope as each cruiseline restarts. I wish them all the best as I cannot wait to board a ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s true that international travel by air from the USA is limited at this time, and its currently lagging behind domestic travel, but Port Canaveral isn’t affected as much since majority of cruisers from this port of embarkation are US citizens traveling domestically, who either drive or fly. Although flight schedules are more limited, there’s plenty of capacity to accommodate the current number of passengers.

Arizona Wildcat Posted August 30, 2020 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2020 My point is still some 70% of cruisers are not from the US and they cruise from places about the world. 30M cruise. About 7M leaving from Florida. 23M elsewhere and they have severe travel restrictions. All you need is ports to open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
